Re: Runtime Class Registration in VB.Net

Ooh yeah - I forgot about CLR AddIns.  The work I did was 'strictly .NET 2.0' so I couldn't use them there.  I've been meaning to check out the CLR AddIn functionality - I'd heard it was originally hard to get started with because of a lack of documentation, but that was a while ago.

Have you used it in anger, Marc?  Was it any good?
